Dylan assists in producingFanGraphs Audio, Effectively Wild, and the FanGraphs Live Twitch channel. He also enjoys the Waxahachie Swap (RIP), the Air Bud principle, and the Oxford comma. You can Tweet him about any of those things @dhhiggins.
Great work as usual, but I wanted to point out that Jesse Hahn is not a lefty. Therefore, the reasoning used for using Dozier and Plouffe today is not as justified.
I’ve been thinking all day as to how in the world I screwed this up, but I have nothing but egg on my face. I know Jesse Hahn is right-handed, just goofed it up. Whoops.
Thanks for pointing it out though (and being nice about it)! Appreciated.
